As professional wrestlers and wrestling programs change their themes all the time, it's pretty hard to pick one, but most of them usually have one that is considered their most iconic and definitive theme.

Wrestlers:

  • Kurt Angle — "Medal", though many fans prefer his TNA theme "Gold Metal"
  • "Stone Cold" Steve Austin — "I Won't Do What You Tell Me", although many fans tend to prefer "Glass Shatters", Disturbed's take on the theme, over the former.
  • Sasha Banks — "The Sky's The Limit".
  • Batista — "I Walk Alone", though his original theme, "Animal", is fondly remembered.
  • Bayley — "Turn it Up".
  • The Beautiful People — "Angel on my Shoulders".
  • The Bella Twins — "You Can Look (But You Can't Touch)", though Brie's solo theme, "Beautiful Life", is notoriously catchy.
  • Chris Benoit — "Whatever". "One Thing", the theme used for his promo both after winning WrestleMania XX and his now forgotten tribute show, is also fondly remembered.

  • Edge — "Metalingus".
  • Emma — "Real Deal".
  • Evolution — "Line in the Sand"
  • Fandango — "ChaChaLaLa" has become so iconic because of the "Fandangoing" craze that when he got a new theme in early 2015 called "Peña Flamenca", they had to change it back to "ChaChaLaLa" shortly afterwards.

  • Jeff Jarrett — "My World"
  • Chris Jericho — "Break The Walls Down", specifically, the Adam Morenoff version.

    • As Jon Moxley: "Wild Thing"
  • Rey Mysterio — "Booyaka 619"

  • New World Order — "Rockhouse"
  • Kazuchika Okada — "Rainmaker"
  • Paul Orndorff — "Mr. Wonderful", his final WCW theme, seems to be this despite Orndorff only using it for a few months before his retirement, as it's a cheesy yet catchy opera-style ballad. Seeing that he used it during his guest appearance on Monday Night RAW for Hulk Hogan's birthday in 2014, it seems to have been officially cemented.

  • Jake Roberts — "Snake Bit" is far more liked and remembered than "Trust Me".
  • The Rock — "If You Smell", particularly the "Know Your Role" remix used from 1999-2001.
  • Seth Rollins
    • As Tyler Black — "Battle On"
    • As Seth Rollins — "The Second Coming" for his solo career; "Special Op" overall

  • Ronda Rousey — "Bad Reputation", which was her theme in both UFC and WWE.
  • Ryback — "Meat on the Table".
  • Zack Ryder — The (original) Watt White and Jim Johnston version of "Radio".
  • Sable — "Wild Cat"
  • Samoa Joe — "The Champ Is Here" in Ring of Honor, "Nation of Violence" in TNA, "Destroyer" in WWE.
  • Damien Sandow — "Hallelujah" is considered his definitive theme.
  • Randy Savage — "Pomp and Circumstance"
  • Sheamus — "Written in My Face"; despite the fact that he changed it to "Hellfire" after six years it is still much more recognizable.
  • The Shield — Either "Special Op" as a whole or just the opening of it; in fact, none of members' solo careers theme aren't nearly as iconic as it.
  • Ricky Steamboat — "Sirius" (for WWF fans) or "Opening Ceremony" (for WCW fans)
  • Kevin Steen
    • As Kevin Steen — "Unsettling Differences"
    • As Kevin Owens — "Fight"
  • Sting — "Turbo Charged" or "Man Called Sting" for his "Surfer" era; "Sting" or "Seek and Destroy" for his "Crow" era, which he also used during his retirement match at AEW Revolution 2024.
  • Trish Stratus — "Time To Rock n' Roll"
  • AJ Styles — "I Am", though his WWE theme "Phenomenal" is starting to catch up.
  • Jay Lethal — "Scorched Ops", particularly as ROH Champion, "Konkussion" outside of ROH(which incidentally was used by Taeler Hendrix while she was there in the same stable)
  • The House Of Truth — "The Hoopla" is the theme best associated with the group, due to the other themes being more associated with individual wrestlers(mostly Jay Lethal)
  • Mr. 450 — "To The Threshold", The Mecha Wolf — "A Lycan's Call"
  • Jimmy Jacobs — He has used, and sung many songs but will always be most associated with "The Ballad Of Lacey"

  • Hiroshi Tanahashi — "Love and Energy"
  • Tazz — "Just Another Victim"
  • Test — "This is a Test"
  • Eve Torres — "She Looks Good"
  • Triple H — "The Game" is considered his most recognizable theme, although there are a lot of fans who prefer his older theme song, "My Time".
  • Ultimate Warrior — "Unstable"
  • Umaga — His 2006-2008 theme "Virtual Voodoo" is more fondly remembered than his 2009 theme "Tribal Trouble". When Umaga reappeared as a playable wrestler in the WWE Video Games series in 2K22 he had "Virtual Voodoo" as his entrance theme despite the character model resembling his 2009 look.
  • The Undertaker — "Rest in Peace"
    • "American Bad Ass" Undertaker — Although he used four themes during this gimmick, "Rollin' (Air Raid Vehicle)" is the most remembered.

  • Lisa Marie Varon
  • Val Venis — "Hello Ladies"
  • Katarina Waters — "Hands of the Wicked" is wildly seen as her definitive theme.
  • Torrie Wilson — "Need a Little Time" is considered her definitive theme by most fans. WWE seem to agree as she's been using it during her post-retirement guest appearances despite having used different themes in her final years as an active performer. This is likely because her last two entrance themes "Not Enough For Me" and "A Girl Like That" would later be used by Michelle McCool and Tiffany respectively and are more associated with them than with Torrie, unlike "Need a Little Time".
  • Bray Wyatt/The Wyatt Family — "Live in Fear/Broken Out in Love". For Luke Harper and Erick Rowan, "Live in Fear" also triumphs over their respective solo themes.
  • Sami Zayn
    • As El Generico — "Ole!"
    • As Sami Zayn — "Worlds Apart"
  • Dolph Ziggler — "Here to Show The World", followed by Cage9's version of "I Am Perfection".
